			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As promised, here&#8217;s some images to share from Kok Keong and Charmaine&#8217;s actual day wedding! The couple had the morning gatecrashing, traditional tea ceremony, quick outdoor shoot at Orchard Road, Solemnisation by the Mayfair Pool in GoodWood Park Hotel where they had their dinner banquet. Videography was handled by Damon Low from <a href="http://www.damonlowvideography.com/" target="_blank">Damon Low Videography</a> (very friendly guy). The  couple engaged <a href="http://weddingacts.com/index.html" target="_blank">Wedding Acts</a> and had <a href="http://weddingacts.com/about_maria.html" target="_blank">Maria</a> as their wedding planner, together with a three piece live band &#8211; <a href="http://www.alittledream02.com/" target="_blank">A Little Dream</a> with Bevlyn as the singer. Enjoy this series, and with the coming lunar new year, remember to moderate your intake of festive goodies! Have fun! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

More drinking shots of Kok Keong&#8230; and you can only imagine how&#8217;s the rest of the night will look like. More toastings, more drinking, more lobsters~ Hehehe. Will be meeting Kok Keong and Charmaine later in the afternoon to show them the entire set of images! Been a long time since I last met them personally. So excited! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blink of an eye, we are already coming to the end of August 2010 soon!! I still remember when I was a kid, my grandma and mum used to feed me little nuggets of <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">advices</span> stories to scare the shit out of me. But there&#8217;s one kinda interesting one which I really enjoyed when I was still a kid. During the Winter Solstice festival, I&#8217;ll get to eat tons and tons of glutinous rice balls (tang yuan). But as a kid, I didn&#8217;t quite like the sticky texture of the glutinous rice ball. So one day, perhaps in a bid to make me eat more of the glutinous rice ball, either my grandma or my mum told me this; for every one glutinous rice ball I eat, I will grow a year older. You know, kids always hope they can grow up quickly and be like adults. They put on their mum&#8217;s lipsticks, wear their mum&#8217;s heels, and play with things like <em>masak masak </em>and lots of play pretend stuffs.<br />
 </p>
<p>So I thought what a great way to grow up quickly and be like the adults! End up for all the remaining Winter Solstice festival, I never fail to stuff my face with the glutinous rice balls which came in various fillings such as peanut, black sesame, red bean etc. Come to think of it, I was so darn naive to believe! And guess what, I scooped the number of glutinous rice balls into my ball accordingly to the age I wanted to be. Then I asked them does it mean that if I am 10 years old and I eat 10 this year, I&#8217;ll be 20 years old? But what happens if next year I&#8217;m already 20, means I cannot eat anymore else I&#8217;ll become 30 years old? No. Apparently there&#8217;s a COUNTER RESET for every year. *Faints*<br />
 </p>
<p>Now that we have all grown up to be young adults already, I wish I can vomit out all the glutinous rice balls I ate and turn back the time. Things are happening real fast, and moments kept whizzing by like the wind. Too fast for me to catch, too quickly disappeared. I only hope every single adult who happens to be reading this will really slow down their pace, listen to their own heartbeat and breathing. Don&#8217;t waste your life by doing nothing at all or being too busy. Indeed moderation is the key to life.<br />
 </p>
<p>Anyway, on 5 August 2010, Raymond attended the award ceremony for the ASEAN Young Photographers&#8217; Award 2010. He was the award recipient representing Singapore and he had to dress in the national dress or formal attire. With Time as the limit factor, we were not able to source for an appropriate national dress for Raymond, and being bugged with truckloads of work to do, we could only fly down to Zara at Vivocity to do a super last minute shopping on the day itself with Chris Woon being the fashion consultant. I&#8217;m kinda used to calling him Lao Woon though. Muwahahahaha!<br />
 </p>
<p>So for those who haven&#8217;t seen Raymond in formal, here&#8217;s a few pictures taken along the corridoor of our studio at Central.</p>
<p><a title="Yidi-ASEAN-01 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4913273932/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4118/4913273932_21e8893d39_o.jpg" alt="Yidi-ASEAN-01" width="768" height="512" /></a><br />
 </p>
<p><a title="Yidi-ASEAN-04 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4913274016/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4101/4913274016_2b9011b958_o.jpg" alt="Yidi-ASEAN-04" width="768" height="512" /></a><br />
 </p>
<p><a title="Yidi-ASEAN-05 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4913274096/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4913274096_7bb2f75973_b.jpg" alt="Yidi-ASEAN-05" width="512" height="768" /></a><br />
Lao Woon helped a lot with the selection of outfits, which inner shirt to match with the coat, what color for the tie goes best with the overall look etc! Next time if any guys need to go shopping can ask Lao Woon along! He&#8217;s pretty fashionable and very straight to the point, nice will tell you nice, not nice will tell you not nice.<br />
 </p>
<p><a title="Yidi-ASEAN-08 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4913274168/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/4913274168_113be2a724_b.jpg" alt="Yidi-ASEAN-08" width="768" height="512" /></a><br />
That&#8217;s Raymond with his award.<br />
 </p>
<p><a title="Yidi-ASEAN-12 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4913274300/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4913274300_5dba5b7bc9_b.jpg" alt="Yidi-ASEAN-12" width="512" height="768" /></a><br />
And lastly, a solo picture on its own.<br />
 </p>
<p>Now that the event is over, the entire outfit goes right into the wardrobe to grow mushrooms. I was telling him the next time he&#8217;ll be wearing it would probably be our ROM, or Actual Day wedding already. HAHAHAHA! =p<br />
 </p>
<p>Speaking of wedding, here&#8217;s some images from Andrew Gabriel &amp; Sylvia&#8217;s actual day wedding taken during their banquet day. The first half of the wedding was the Church ceremony done at Church of St Mary of the Angels, which we have uploaded some of the images to our Facebook Page. Feel free to click over to our Facebook Page at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/RaymondPhangPhotography">www.facebook.com/RaymondPhangPhotography</a> and have a look! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

The dinner banquet was held at The Regent hotel Singapore.<br />

Here&#8217;s Sylvia at the pre-dinner reception.<br />
 </p>
<p><a title="A&amp;S25Apr-129 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4912506067/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/4912506067_9e762e3061_b.jpg" alt="A&amp;S25Apr-129" width="768" height="512" /></a><br />
The couple had sword bearers for their first march in, and the second march in was something special.<br />
 </p>
<p><a title="A&amp;S25Apr-133 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4912506227/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4140/4912506227_98c25b00da_b.jpg" alt="A&amp;S25Apr-133" width="768" height="768" /></a><br />
Sylvia had her make up and hair done by <a href="http://www.makeupbyjean.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Jean Aw</a>.<br />

SO STYLO MILO!! Holding a videocam on one hand and a camera on the other, but recording and snapping together at the same time! O_O&#8221;!!<br />
 </p>
<p><a title="A&amp;S25Apr-170 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4912506609/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4912506609_2d78dec3e5_b.jpg" alt="A&amp;S25Apr-170" width="512" height="768" /></a><br />
 </p>
<p><a title="A&amp;S25Apr-174 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4913110396/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4913110396_609f4c7545_b.jpg" alt="A&amp;S25Apr-174" width="512" height="768" /></a><br />
Almost all the guests were seated, couple ready to march in soon.<br />
 </p>
<p><a title="A&amp;S25Apr-205 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4913110512/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4913110512_a0d6f83b46_b.jpg" alt="A&amp;S25Apr-205" width="768" height="512" /></a><br />
I&#8217;ve always enjoyed looking through images with sword bearers present during the wedding. No particular reason, but I thought the guys looked really smart in their uniform! Kekeke!<br />
 </p>
<p><a title="A&amp;S25Apr-215 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4913110714/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4117/4913110714_b82419dd40_b.jpg" alt="A&amp;S25Apr-215" width="768" height="768" /></a><br />
Some of the guys will make things &#8220;difficult&#8221; for you, they&#8217;ll cross their swords and either make the couple kiss each other, or make the groom carry the bride all the way to the stage.<br />

I love beautiful wedding cakes!<br />

While the guests were happily mingling away, the couple were up at their suite getting ready for the second march in.<br />
 </p>
<p><a title="A&amp;S25Apr-296 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4912507729/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/4912507729_99f211a9f1.jpg" alt="A&amp;S25Apr-296" width="768" height="512" /></a><br />

One of my favourite images!<br />
 <br />
 </p>
<p><a title="A&amp;S25Apr-364 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4912508237/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/4912508237_8e8eec500c_b.jpg" alt="A&amp;S25Apr-364" width="768" height="512" /></a><br />
AND THIS ONE TOO!<br />
 </p>
<p><a title="A&amp;S25Apr-370 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4912508327/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4139/4912508327_ba7c48bdb0_b.jpg" alt="A&amp;S25Apr-370" width="768" height="512" /></a><br />
 </p>
<p><a title="A&amp;S25Apr-381 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4912508415/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4080/4912508415_bb11c5e99a_b.jpg" alt="A&amp;S25Apr-381" width="768" height="512" /></a><br />
And this as well! I love the series probably because personally for me, the feel is there. The subtle and abstract forms.. something like you don&#8217;t have to explain much or show everything, so it allows even greater room for people to exercise their creativity and interpretation!<br />
 </p>
<p><a title="A&amp;S25Apr-406 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4912508649/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4143/4912508649_0f6de2071c_b.jpg" alt="A&amp;S25Apr-406" width="768" height="512" /></a><br />
The couple rode in for their second march in, and this particular image got us a first place in the <a href="http://www.wpja.com/wedding_photography_galleries/contest/?contest=42&amp;category=02&amp;placing=1" target="_blank">2010 Q1 Wedding Photojournalist Association contest</a> for the ceremony category.<br />
 </p>
<p><a title="A&amp;S25Apr-416 by Raymond Phang, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30500661@N08/4912508793/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4121/4912508793_44cc328188_b.jpg" alt="A&amp;S25Apr-416" width="768" height="512" /></a><br />
It&#8217;s not an easy feat for the couple to ride in, because the flooring of the ballroom was really slippery even with the red carpet! But very glad that everything went well smoothly for them! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

Next comes the couple&#8217;s first dance.<br />

Off to mingling and farewell.<br />

Ending the night back at the hotel room re-watching the express photo montage we did for them.<br />
 </p>
<p>Andrew and Sylvia invited us and the brothers+sisters who helped out at the wedding to their new place last month and we had a feast of yummy food! They had a cement screed flooring done up for their kitchen, and their place look really cosy with the long wooden table + benches. Very raw feeling, both Raymond and I love the idea to bits! Hehehe! We&#8217;ll see you guys again soon when Satin is abit more settled down and we&#8217;ll let Satin, Bailey and Rusti have a ball of a time k!! Hehehehe~</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>On a side note, ever since we shifted to SOHO 1 @ Central a year ago, we haven&#8217;t share any images of our studio yet. Here&#8217;s one taken without the lights on. It&#8217;s actually a loft with a ceiling height of about 4.5m to 4.75m, which is more than enough for us to build a mezzanine floor to make it a duplex. A little complicating, so we will probably consolidate a few images to share for the next entry especially when there&#8217;s a frequent &#8220;breakout&#8221; of fireworks these few days due to the Youth Olympic Games.<br />

<p>Susu might also be sharing some of her awesome cat images which were selected for exhibition!! I&#8217;ll go bug her on Monday to blog! Muwahahahaha! Good night! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello! Apologies for the lack of updates, we&#8217;ve been pretty busy these few days trying to clear as much backlogs as we can before Raymond fly to Russia this coming weekend. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
 </p>
<p>Recently we&#8217;ve gotten news of quite a few couple of ours who&#8217;re expecting with a baby! Yesterday was Cassie&#8217;s birthday, and we got news that they&#8217;re expecting Little Kok Meng, due in November! So happy for them!!! And also we just received news from <a href="http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/2009/sam-michelles-actual-day-wedding" target="_blank">Sam and Michelle</a> that their son was born on 27 July 2010!! So awesome! Can&#8217;t wait to visit them in Sydney! Also a biiiig congratulations to <a href="http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/2009/laurie-agnes-actual-day-wedding-at-asian-civilisations-museum" target="_blank">Laurie and Agnes </a>+ <a href="http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/2008/snippets-from-edwin-chew-ling" target="_blank">Edwin and Chew Ling</a> who just gave birth last month! Not forgetting <a href="http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/2009/selection-from-terence-janns-actual-day-wedding-morning-highlights" target="_self">Terence and Jann</a> + <a href="http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/2009/herman-and-janets-actual-day-wedding" target="_blank">Herman &amp; Janet </a>who is due in August too!! Wah, so excited for all of them taking the next step of their new journey!! May all our couples pop more little boy boy and little girl girl, and be very much more in love than before! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
 </p>
<p>That aside, here&#8217;s some images taken from Paul and Marilyn&#8217;s wedding this year in April. They had Singapore&#8217;s best wedding planner (awarded by Singapore Tatler) - <a href="http://www.theweddingentourage.com.sg/" target="_blank">The Wedding Entourage</a> plan their wedding with a Disney Princess theme for the evening banquet session. I think they did a wonderful job with the coordinating, looking into every single detail of the wedding down to the timing schedules and the customs! Heard from Marilyn that The Wedding Entourage only takes on a certain number of wedding assignments to ensure that they give the best of their time and attention to plan for the couple&#8217;s wedding. Very exclusive and committed indeed! I also learnt from Raymond that the planners offer sincere and honest advices to couples (especially Caroline), so I&#8217;m very sure couples will definitely feel the assurance. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
 </p>
<p>Paul and Marilyn engaged a second photographer &#8211; Kaya Ow &#8211; for the more formal shots, and also had Yang from <a href="http://www.substancefilms.com/" target="_blank">Substance Films</a> for Video. Their banquet was held at Grand Copthorne Waterfront hotel, with a beautifully and massively decorated ballroom (flowers and decor by <a href="http://www.boenga.net/" target="_blank">Boenga</a>). I can&#8217;t put in words how much effort was made for the preparation to make this wedding a successful and memorable one for the couple, but one thing for sure, Paul and Marilyn enjoyed themselves thoroughly on their wedding day! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
 </p>
<p>I shall cut it short for now, so&#8230; enjoy the images taken by Raymond Phang! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Guys! It&#8217;s been a long while since we last visited this space! Haven&#8217;t had the chance to update the many things (good and bad) that have been happening to us due to our current workload. And not forgetting the BRAS have all grown fat, so we tend to be a little bit slow <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"><em>and lazy</em></span> in updating. Hahahahaha!! We actually gave ourselves a name known as BRAS &#8211; Baileys our chihuahua mascot, Raymond, Angeline, and Sulin. When Baileys is not in the picture, I guess we&#8217;ll just have to make do with the name SAR. Sounds a little deadly, but as a team, we are deadly. Kekeke. We work like mad together, binge and snack together, expand physically together towards the same horizontal direction and it is such a joy that we have each other for support! Hahahaha! :P</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Currently we have tons and tons of wedding backlogs to edit and share, so do be patient with us while we find the time to update constantly ya? We&#8217;ll also have images from Raymond&#8217;s editorial shoot in Silk Road (where he met with some misfortune during his birthday), some images of our long overdue Kelong trip as SAR, maternity shots (yes, maternity), more amazing pre-wedding images (confirm never seen before, once in 16 years and never again), and more images of recent actual day weddings! We just did one for Kenny and Sherry&#8217;s AD on 3 July 2010 (super popular date!), one of the group shot taken for the groom and the brothers is really nice! To the brothers, the sacrifices your shoes made were all very much worth it! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>At present, Raymond is enslaved to the nation for his Reservist and running his ass off to make sure he pass that darn IPPT. We&#8217;ll see him when he&#8217;s back by the weekend for the actual day wedding shoot of Sam and Shen Hwee. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> <br />
Raymond has also won himself a First Place for the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) 2010 Q&#8217;1 contest for the Ceremony category. It&#8217;s our first time participating in the WPJA contest, and we&#8217;re very humbled by the achievement. We&#8217;ll share the winning image on a seperate entry with the rest of the couple&#8217;s wedding images. Lots of images which we personally like, and definitely lots of emotions happening during the wedding as well. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another piece of good news to share, Raymond has been selected to represent Singapore for the ASEAN Young Photographers&#8217; Award 2010 which will take place in Singapore in August this year. I&#8217;m sure he must be really excited to meet the other representing photographers from their respective countries. It&#8217;s a very good opportunity for him to interact and exchange ideas with photographers from abroad, and I hope it will change his perspective be it towards photography or even Life. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We&#8217;re super excited for the plans we have for next year as well, and we&#8217;ll share with all couples once we have the details finalised! The SAR has even made a pledge to make sacrifices for it just to see it come true! Emily and Colin has been really supportive, and we&#8217;d want couples to take advantage of the opportunity too! So do stay tuned for more updates ya? <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>That aside, couples have feedback to me that my SMS-es are like emails, and my emails are like story books! I&#8217;m so sorry to be this long winded again, blame it on the lack of writings and updates! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Seriously, I would also like to share with everyone another piece of news update. One of the couple whose wedding we shot this year has been featured on the front cover of the current issue (July 10 &#8211; December 10) of Blissful Brides magazine. Their wedding is also featured in the Real Weddings section from Page 340 to Page 343. Do grab a copy of the magazine at all major newstand and vote for your favourite cover ya? You&#8217;ll stand a chance to win an Elegante Diamond necklace worth $3058 from Goldheart Jewellery. Voting form can be found on Page 48 of the Blissful Brides magazine, and contest ends 30 November 2010. Good luck to all who have voted, and enjoy the images taken during Qi Wei and Hsiao Hui&#8217;s actual day and pre-wedding! It&#8217;ll be a looooong post with lots of images. Loading of images will take abit of time, so do be patient ya? Hehe. Cheers! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

There&#8217;s something I like about this image and I cannot explain why&#8230;<br />
Maybe it&#8217;s the atmosphere, or the way everyone is focusing on the couple who is offering prayers with all sincerity&#8230;</p>

I love red umbrellas! If i have the time, I might update a post on all the red umbrella shots we have done. You&#8217;ll then see the different expressions from the brides, and it&#8217;s really interesting! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Tea ceremony! I never used to appreciate tea ceremonies, and I thought they were one of  the most boring part of a wedding, next to table to table shots and group photos. But recently somehow I had a change of perspective. I came to value human relationship more, and trying to appreciate the much elder folks. There&#8217;s a few images from Kangwei &amp; Shuqin&#8217;s tea ceremony which I&#8217;ve listed as my favourites. Might seemed like some extremely normal shots, but nowadays I tend to look beyond the surface of the photos and realised that the ties or meaning behind it is worth much more than anything else in the world. I&#8217;ll update an entry of their actual day wedding (18 July 2010) once the images are ready. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Tricky tricky part! Unpin the wrong one and you might destroy the hairstyle! Maybe the sisters ought to collect bribery from the groom for completing this task for them. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

I seriously wonder what&#8217;s the piece of paper they&#8217;re looking at. Love the expression and the whole feeling/tension!</p>

Instead of the usual traditional Kwa or cheongsam, Hsiao Hui wore a gorgeous traditional peranakan outfit!</p>

Intricate details, and it&#8217;s not easy when the shoes are handmade and every beads have to be sewn on individually. Takes alot of patience and skills!</p>

A picture of the mum and daughter getting ready! We call Hsiao Hui&#8217;s mummy as  星妈 (celebrity&#8217;s mum). Hehehe! Don&#8217;t you think Hsiao Hui has the looks of a celebrity? When I first saw her, I thought she looked like Zhang Zi Yi! But of course Hsiao Hui is the super friendly, warm and outgoing version. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

This picture reminds me of the day when my uncle got married. I was only a primary school kid&#8217;s age at that time, and my parents decided that my brother and I will sleep over at my uncle&#8217;s place together with my granny. I couldn&#8217;t sleep well, probably too excited and didn&#8217;t know what to expect. So I had my granny to tell us stories of her life, and probably what marriage is about. The next thing I know, my uncle&#8217;s alarm clock went off, he immediately dashed out of his room, washed up and got ready. He was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nervous, until he actually forgot how to put on socks!! Hahahahaha!! I can never forget the scene, and I&#8217;ve decided to use that against him if he ever teases me on my wedding day. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

I must say Hsiao Hui&#8217;s Kwa is also one of the most beautiful one I&#8217;ve seen. The cutting fits her perfectly and look at the colours + details!</p>

<p>Muwahahahahaha! I&#8217;m a little in the cranky mood today, thus the weird captions for the images. Luckily I postponed my driving lesson. Else I would have given my instructor a heart attack since yesterday I almost made him choke on his sweet when I swirve the car to almost mount the pedestrian walkway at the slip road. HEHEHEHEHEHEHE! Rainy days make it easier to drift&#8230; oops! I drive golf buggy can mount kerb, drive car can swirve elsewhere, so please don&#8217;t invite me to a go-kart race cos I will confirm flip and toss the car in mid air and do the mid air car explosion stunt. I don&#8217;t mind Daytona invites though. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We did a pre-wedding photo shoot for Kangwei &amp; Shuqin somewhere in March this year in Singapore. It was a super memorable day of shoot for Susu and myself, and definitely one of the most memorable for Raymond (hopefully for the couple too, in a good way!)! Hehehehe!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Throughout the first half of the photoshoot, Raymond was the one driving the buggy from point to point, while Susu and I sat and grumbled at not being able to hold the wheel. It seems fun to drive a golf buggy, especially after we experienced how Raymond manoeuvered the vehicle over steep slopes and &#8220;canals&#8221;. We thought we were going to crash and die whenever he did all those supposedly dangerous stunts which to Raymond was common.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Finally my chance to drive the golf buggy came when he needed clearance for one of his angle. So while everyone was fussing over the bride and groom, I was tasked to move the buggy to the other side! YES!!! I do not have a driving license, but I thought it&#8217;s like driving a bumper car! The instructions were pretty simple and easy to comprehend, and I happily drove the buggy with success!! FUWAH! What a feeeeeeeeling!! It was damn fun!!! I got addicted to it, and so I waited and eyed at every opportunity to drive the golf buggy again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Done with first half of the photoshoot, and we wouldn&#8217;t have done it without the help from Mia and Clarabelle &#8211; very nice friends of Kangwei &amp; Shuqin who helped toss the veil, hold the speedlite, provide tissues etc! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So Raymond drove the golf buggy back to the pick up and return point. On the way back, I wanted to take over the wheel and he let me!! So I was sitting in the middle while the wheel was on the left, I totally enjoyed myself driving the golf buggy!! I drove like a pro, until we met with a vehicle parked at the left side of the road. I had to avoid it so I drove closer to the right. Looking at the pathetic battery left, plus I didn&#8217;t want the three of us to be stranded in the middle of nowhere, I stepped on the accelerator with all my might! Especially so when I saw that we were approaching an uphill slope! Jialat I thought&#8230;. the golf buggy sure don&#8217;t have enough horse power to take us up&#8230; Who knows, if it rolls backward I will surely be laughed at by Raymond. My bimbo moment strucked, and I figured by stepping the accelerator pedal fully, it might help a teeeeeeeny weeeeeeny bit. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fuwah, indeed the golf buggy seemed to respond better. Ai seh, I thought I was a heroine!! Muwahahahahaha! But I didn&#8217;t anticipate that there&#8217;ll be a downhill turning slope right after, so I happily mounted a kerb! Maybe cos I played too much Daytona, watched too much Need for Speed or Initial-D and the likes, I swirl/swirve (don&#8217;t know how to spell) and thought maybe by doing that the golf buggy will drift and move to the right track! Fuwah! I always thought those drifting scenes in the movies are really cool! But I forgot I&#8217;m a no license driver, and I&#8217;m not driving a vehicle built for F-1 races. Tsk&#8230;..</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4039/4643996319_9f56abe8c0_o.jpg" alt="Raymond Phang Photography - Threesome @ Work before mounting kerb" /><br />
<em>Seconds before the Mayhem&#8230; Look at my expression!! Something doesn&#8217;t seemed right&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; MUWAHAHAHAHA!!!</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Right after Raymond took this self snap picture of us three in the moving golf buggy, I mounted the kerb and Raymond flew out of the buggy, turned and did a few rounds of summersault with his hands holding the camera high up in the air!!!! Fuwah my goodness, it was like a &#8220;jump car&#8221; scene out of the movies!! I saw it happening right before my eyes! So i jammed break and ran to Raymond. He was laying on the ground motionless&#8230; Luckily it was all superficial injuries and the pole didn&#8217;t poke him and pierce through his body. Phew!!! He thought I&#8217;d be crying like the Nigeria falls, but who knows my first reaction was a giggly &#8220;sorry sorry&#8221;&#8230; HAHAHAHAHA!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I picked him up, and he limped his way back to the buggy. Luckily the camera was perfectly good too! All thanks to his professional dedication for passion  - he saved and protected the camera instead of his body/head.<br />
 <br />

<p>I forgot what happened after&#8230; forgot who drove the buggy back. But anyway, here&#8217;s his battle scars! If he didn&#8217;t fly out of the buggy, the whole vehicle would have overturned, crushing his ribs and the three of us could have just died like that&#8230; freak accident!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Pretty badly injured, and he had a suuuuuper big piece of bruise on his waist area. I would love to drive the golf buggy again if given another chance!! Hehehehehehe&#8230; =p</p>
<p> <br />
Anyway, here&#8217;s a few images from the day&#8217;s shoot to share!!</p>

<p>We spent the entire day for the shoot from morning to night, and even when it rained during the night, Kangwei and Shuqin was really cooperative with us!! Must also thank the couple for being so patient and trusting even though they could have fallen sick, they had to rush off for an important birthday dinner right after, risk their makeup getting all smudged, risk falling off the building etc etc etc. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>More to come, and we&#8217;re also really excited to share a recent series we did for Eddie and Aileen!! Something never seen before&#8230; hehehe&#8230; Till then, cheers!! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Some images from Bowen and Nadia&#8217;s wedding to share! They celebrated their wedding over a span of two different days - first day with gatecrashing and solemnisation ceremony at Oosh (Dempsey Road), the second day they had dinner banquet at Shangri-La Hotel (Tower Ballroom). And because the prevous entries are filled with too much wordings like ants crawling on the screen, I shall keep this short and sweet! Enjoy! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Heard from Raymond that one unique point of Christian Louboutin&#8217;s shoes is the signature shiny red lacquered soles! You must be wondering why there&#8217;s like at least two images of this pair of shoes. Actually it&#8217;s a surprise gift Bowen got for Nadia from Paris!</p>

<p>Gatecrashing is fun! For couples who find gatecrashing meaningless, maybe you can try looking at it from another point of view. I&#8217;m sure the gatecrashing segment will be one of the most memorable part of your wedding day. Perhaps you find it meaningless for the groom and merrymen to suffer while being forced to lick cucumbers and eat wasabi + tobasco filled bread. I do agree to a certain extent that it&#8217;s pretty pointless, but it&#8217;s all in the name of fun! Life would be so dull and mundane if everything is to go according to plan and perfection, if everything is to be judged by face value.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like it to be meaningful, maybe you can think of meaningful gatecrashing games like getting the groom to chain a necklace using the available materials your sisters have for them etc. At least you get to keep the necklace at the end of the day even though most probably you wouldn&#8217;t be wearing it. It&#8217;s something your beloved hubby make for you (probably that&#8217;ll be the only piece of jewellery he&#8217;ll ever make for you too! You know&#8230; Guyyyyyss). It&#8217;ll be something which I guarantee you&#8217;ll cherish, and something for you and your hubby to look back and laugh together when you both grow old. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Here&#8217;s Sumei marching in together with the flowergirl. Actually it&#8217;s quite a small world because Nadia actually knows Anamika (one of the couple whom we photographed for their solemnisation and banquet last year)! I only found out about it until I saw Sumei appearin in one of Nadia&#8217;s past photographs when I was doing the childhood montage!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>*Clears cob web* Raymond Phang Photography would like to apologise to our dear readers and followers of this blog! It&#8217;s been way too long since our last wedding photography related entry! Raymond has been busy with his photoshoots and on his constantly &#8220;learning program&#8221; where he spends time reading up on latest photography and lighting techniques, reading up on tutorials and stuffs like that. Other times when he&#8217;s not doing the few above mentioned, he&#8217;ll be out running errands such as delivering DVDs of images, posting out snail mails, collecting albums, shopping to stock up our supplies for our studio etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Susulini (a.k.a Susu) has more or less settled down with Raymond Phang Photography. Feeding our grossmits (Hermit crabs), disturbing Baileys our Mascot chihuahua, raiding the fridge (she actually only raid the drinks and not the sinful food like chocolates!)! Susu not only does the editing, sometimes when we have pre-wedding shoots, she&#8217;ll tag along and help us out with the lightings and stuffs. She&#8217;s a straight forward person with a unique personality. Sometimes when she gets too carried away, she tends to forget about stuffs like formalities &amp; manners, so please do pardon her if she has ever offended anyone of you ya? <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for meeeeeeee&#8230; I&#8217;m still vertically challenged (which I think will be the case forever), and horizontally empowered!! In fact, I&#8217;m getting more and more empowered! I attribute the cause to my occupation hazard. Irregular meals, super gigantic meals, and after all the sinful meals, I slam my fatty ass on the chair and grow roots infront of the monitor. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>I&#8217;ve actually proposed an idea to my Boss &#8211; exercise at least once a week, sleep before 12 midnight, or the very least walk the dog for 30 minutes after a meal. My Boss liked the idea! Initially we followed the plan, but after 2-3 days, everybody seemed suffer from amnesia, they actually forgot about my plan. *Shakes head*</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nonetheless I hope Year 2010 have been good for everyone of you so far! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some images to share from Matthew &amp; Melissa&#8217;s wedding! We met the couple quite some time back at TCC when we haven&#8217;t got our current studio yet, and I had quite a deep impression because TCC actually black out on that day and we had to walk to another restaurant to do our meet up. I remember we chatted not only about the wedding, but also on HTC phones. Hahaha! Perhaps because Melissa is an artist (she plays and teaches the Piano!!), so they&#8217;re more spontaneous in making decisions and &#8220;fearless&#8221; about doing what they really want. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>They had two day wedding celebration, but we only managed to cover one of the days since Raymond had another shoot for their first day. We&#8217;re really glad that the couple chose us to photograph their wedding day, and after looking through the images, it makes me even more certain to have a wedding celebration like theirs! One which is super fun filled, one which is arranged specially for themselves and close friends to enjoy, instead of the typical dinner banquet at night where couples usually are clueless about 70-80% of the guests attending!! So a two day wedding would be perfect! Day 1 for family with all the traditional rituals and ceremonies to go through, Day 2 to let your hair loose and party like crazy with your friends!! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enough of my naggy wordings, enjoy the images! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>The couple decided on an outdoor beach wedding theme where they had their solemnisation ceremony, and thankfully they were blessed with good weather that day! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>So unfair since Matthew&#8217;s status has already upgraded to Married few moments ago, so they had a Toss the bouquet again, this time without Matthew!</p>

<p>I love the series from their wedding images because there&#8217;s a lot of big big smiles, laughters, and I could actually feel the joy and happiness from the images even though I wasn&#8217;t present at the wedding. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>I wonder what foodie did the friends asked Matthew to eat, but it looks like yummy satay to me!</p>

<p>Hmm&#8230; Maybe not? Wait, are these the evil sisters we usually see during the gatecrashing session  or are these angels??</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4530354291_b91abdcaa7_o.jpg" alt="Raymond Phang Photography - Actual Day Wedding Photographer" /></p>
<p>I wish I was there to witness everything cos the images make me want to know what was happening! That&#8217;s why I say Raymond is really lucky cos he not only witnessed all the Love and happy marriages during various wedding shoots, he also got to do what he love doing the most!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4002/4530354611_be1c5b25dc_o.jpg" alt="Raymond Phang Photography - Actual Day Wedding Photographer" /></p>
<p>Then it was time to let the hair loose and have fun dancing!!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>You really don&#8217;t have to care too much about what other people think of you, whether the folks or other random strangers would think what you&#8217;re doing is pretty shameful in their eyes. I&#8217;ve heard of couples being &#8220;scolded&#8221; by their parents right after their actual day wedding banquet ends, simply because the couple removed Sharks Fin from the course and it made the parents &#8220;lose face&#8221; because other uncles and aunties complained about it, saying nasty things like &#8220;got money hold banquet at this hotel, no money treat sharks fin&#8221; even though they replaced it with individual servings of gigantic abalone for every guests. But they cannot understand how their children felt as divers and lovers of the waters, the environment and the sea creatures.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also heard of couples absolutely detesting taking the the table to table shots and faking a smile. They actually wanted to do away with the whole banquet and have an intimate dinner/luncheon with only close friends and immediate family members but couldn&#8217;t because of the parents.  I&#8217;ve heard of couples working with too many restrictions because their parents didn&#8217;t like it. No black gown, no black theme for the banquet ballroom, must wear the traditional kua and no modern cheongsam and blablablablabla.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good thing that you&#8217;re still keeping the tradition, it&#8217;s also a very good thing that you respect your parents&#8217; wishes because you want to be filial to them. Personally I feel that the wedding is pretty much like a show. It&#8217;s the marriage that matters. Although your Actual Day is a once in a lifetime thingy,  it&#8217;s your decision whether you&#8217;d like to have it your way, or have it their way. I agree that holding the wedding over two days will really burn a much bigger hole in your pocket. So maybe it&#8217;s a good time to save up lots lots now! And ultimately it all depends on whether you&#8217;d like your Actual Day to be a grand affair for show, or to keep it small but meaningful and purposeful. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Here&#8217;s the beautiful bride &#8211; Cindy! Pretty seldom we get to see brides with short hair for their wedding day. I guess a big part of the reason goes to the lack of variety in available choices of hairstyle. But in thise case, Cindy looks radiant and very refreshing! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a sneak preview of how KC looks like! It&#8217;s actually a photo mug of the couple. </p>
<p>If Raymond and I have such photo mugs around our place, I guess it&#8217;ll burn a real big hole in our pocket. For times when we have fights and arguments, the photo mug would be a good target to vent our frustrations since we can&#8217;t vent it on each other. Hmm&#8230; maybe we&#8217;ll print out some enlargements of ourselves and throw darts at each other&#8217;s faces when we&#8217;re angry instead. Kekeke.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was looking through some of the past and recent wedding images taken by Raymond, and I thought it&#8217;ll be interesting to do an entry on the different gatecrashing games played by the brothers and sisters from various weddings! I left out the common leg hair waxing and bikini stuffs, and here&#8217;s a short list of games to consider! Enjoy! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Simple Games</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2708/4300028629_45797496dd_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<em>(From Paul &amp; Evelyn&#8217;s actual day wedding on 24 October 2009)</em></p>
<p>Set a dress code, get all brothers to follow strictly. Appear for the gatecrashing with a happy spirit, do whatever you&#8217;re told to do by the lovely sisters and you&#8217;ll enjoy the happy day! Push ups are pretty common, but push ups are beneficial to your health, so why not? Make the brothers do 100 within 60 seconds! Perhaps with a bowl of eggs placed right below their tummy so that during the last few seconds when they cannot tahan anymore or cos they&#8217;re rushing to complete within time, they might land and crash on the eggs, or roll over to the side and bang into the brother next to them, and all of them fall like dominos. Muwahahahaha! You can replace eggs for ice, or water or flour, or anything you desire! (:</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">BYO- Bring Your Own</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2776/4300775634_1cd1911b1d_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<em>(From Desmond &amp; Jolene&#8217;s actual day wedding on 25 October 2009)</em></p>
<p>I think the brothers are smart enough to make it a Two Way Bargaining session. The brothers came prepared, brought their own suitcase of treasure with ang pows. No idea what&#8217;s the least and maximum amount in the ang pow, but the sister had to make a choice. Interestingggg&#8230;</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Scary Foodies</span></strong></p>

<em>(From Edwin &amp; Eunice&#8217;s actual day wedding on 21 November 2009)</em></p>
<p>Lemons are sourrrrr! How will lemon taste if you coat it with an extra layer of Citric Acid??? Muwahahahaha!! Maybe coat the lemon with citric acid, then rub it on any body part of one of the selected brother&#8230;.. and&#8230;. the groom&#8230;. shall&#8230;. LICK IT CLEAN! Kekeke.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4300028745_4c81325aed_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
(<em>From Guan Lim &amp; Jeslin&#8217;s actual day wedding on 4 October 2008)</em></p>
<p>Speaking of Licking, here&#8217;s one of our all time favourite gatecrashing game. Guan Lim being the smart aleck, answered TOES to the sisters&#8217; question of &#8220;Which part of Jeslin&#8217;s body is his favourite.&#8221; Tsk tsk tsk, and thus he had to lick off the whipped cream on the brother&#8217;s toes. Not all sisters are evil to think of tricky tricky questions to land you in trouble you know. Sometimes they meant well, no harm! :p</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4300775348_03e956a981_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
(<em>From Andrew &amp; Clarice&#8217;s actual day wedding on 11 October 2008)</em></p>
<p>However there&#8217;s always the exception &#8211; the Evil sisters. They&#8217;ll mix and match the weirdest stuffs on earth like smelly rotten beancurd with perhaps wasabi or bananas or other gooey stuffs altogether. Eeeeew! But weird food stuffs are generally discouraged for fear that the groom and his merrymen will puke and shit in their pants. Don&#8217;t let this moment of &#8220;folly&#8221; spoil the whole day ya?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/4300030651_93e100d6a3_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<em>(From Hiro &amp; Serena&#8217;s actual day wedding on 7 December 2008)</em></p>
<p>Playing on the groom&#8217;s fear might be good. Chilli padi or single food stuff are alright, just don&#8217;t mix, and don&#8217;t use food/drinks that you obviously know the poor groom has an allergy to.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4020/4300777928_a5bb11a9df_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
(<em>From Kuan Wee &amp; Pei Yu&#8217;s actual day wedding on 31 December 2008)</em></p>
<p>And for the greedy merrymen, sometimes the prettiest thing might look good, but not necessary taste good. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
This evil plate of dish made Kuan Wee spat from the second level to the first, and the poor dog dog sprinted to lick it all up. =_=&#8221;</p>
<p> </p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sexy Sexy &#8211; The Role Reversal Game</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2796/4300027571_ee8691ba4c_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<em>(From John &amp; Ei-leen&#8217;s actual day wedding on 7 September 2008)</em></p>
<p>The evil sisters somehow enjoy seeing guys dress themselves up as women! So it&#8217;s inevitable that the merrymen will have to go through this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4020/4300028223_c4680a3064_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
(<em>From Andrew &amp; Clarice&#8217;s actual day wedding on 11 October 2008)</em></p>
<p>Other ways of dressing up the guy. No need for bikini cos bikini looks good only on skin and not clothes! Unless the merrymen strips&#8230;. now that&#8217;s another question altogether&#8230;</p>
<p><em></em> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2775/4300778230_74d2a11fbc_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<em>(From Hiro &amp; Serena&#8217;s actual day wedding on 7 December 2008)</em></p>
<p>Make them danceeeeee!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4017/4300030111_d3da327723_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<em>(From Jonald &amp; Yutong&#8217;s actual day wedding on 7 November 2009)</em></p>
<p>Such an intimate physical body contact! I think the ladies never fails to go Gaga when they see things like this! Hahahaha! This is Entertainment! :p</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4001/4300030979_b7f2ce2b20_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<em>(From Jonald &amp; Yutong&#8217;s actual day wedding on 7 November 2009)</em></p>
<p>How about some kissy kissy? Kekeke! Next time shall make them do away with the &#8220;safety barrier&#8221;!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4058/4300777508_601451e1fb_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<em>(From Jonald &amp; Yutong&#8217;s actual day wedding on 7 November 2009)</em></p>
<p>Next, the brother had to chew off this buns on the groom&#8217;s chest cos inside the buns there&#8217;s a secret note and they have to follow the instructions written on it to proceed on to the next stage.</p>
<p><em></em> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4300030547_8032b7fd43_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
(<em>From Jerry &amp; Michelle&#8217;s actual day wedding on 6 October 2009)</em></p>
<p>This is pretty &#8220;man&#8221;, but pretty R(A) too!! *covers eye*</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4044/4300778488_17c470ffcc_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
(<em>From Richard &amp; Wendy&#8217;s actual day wedding on 9 May 2009)</em></p>
<p>What a cute &#8220;bra&#8221; Richard is holding on close to his chest! He had to sing and dance while wearing this, but being cheeky, Richard even placed it on his head to make it look like&#8230; I don&#8217;t know, a genetically modified Mickey Mouse? Muwahahahaha!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Innocent Games</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2749/4300778786_77f13559e4_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
(<em>From Teck Yong &amp; Wanling&#8217;s actual day wedding on 20 September 2009)</em></p>
<p>Create something out of the things the groom really detest, and find ways to make it stay with the groom throughout the entire gate crashing! In this case, the groom really hates Mushroom, so the clever sisters made a super cute mushroom earing and headband for the groom to wear! Real mushrooms! Innocent enough, right?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4051/4300778344_795de5e29b_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
(<em>From Morrison &amp; Rachel&#8217;s actual day wedding on 2 August 2009)</em></p>
<p>This can be an innocent game, but can be quite a torture as well. You know&#8230; with age&#8230;. your bones have all stiffened up&#8230; so&#8230; you can&#8217;t really go&#8230;. that&#8230; L&#8230;.O&#8230;..W&#8230;..</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4066/4300029661_5840e1901d_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
(<em>From Koh &amp; Ting Yin&#8217;s actual day wedding on 29 May 2009)</em></p>
<p>An innocent game too! Yoga is fun, yoga is healthy! Has anyone seen Yoda doing Yoga? I think it&#8217;ll be funny! Get the brothers to dress up as Yoda and do the Yoga!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2736/4300777426_6d8b863207_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
(<em>From Herman &amp; Janet&#8217;s actual day wedding on 19 April 2009)</em></p>
<p>Diapers? Disposable undies? *scratch head* It&#8217;s so innocent, kids can join in and play too! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Usually the sisters will draw the initials of the bride onto the diapers/undies and make them wear it on their butt, perform a cute sexy little dance and that&#8217;s all. Easy and simple!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Gather the Troops!</span></strong><br />
<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4002/4300777294_56e4f9270d_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<em>(Taken from Lionel &amp; Angel&#8217;s actual day wedding on 17 November 2007)</em></p>
<p>When all things fail, leave it to the elderly!!</p>
<p>Ah-Ma says: &#8220;Eh, kui meng ah! buay sai sng liao, xi gan gao liao!&#8221; Which literally means, open the door, stop playing, time&#8217;s up!! You know how particular the elderly folks are about the auspicious timing? Always recruit a granny in your band of brothers!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4300776024_246379d021_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
(<em>From Win-son &amp; Faith&#8217;s actual day wedding on 29 November 2009)</em></p>
<p>And if the evil sisters make you eat something which you do not want to eat, flash your Ace card and win the battle!</p>
<p> </p>

(<em>From Win-son &amp; Faith&#8217;s actual day wedding on 29 November 2009)</em></p>
<p>Ah-ma says humph, 放马过来吧！(release your horse to me). Give me another 10 and I&#8217;ll gobble them all the same!! Ah-ma power!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2679/4300029145_c2321c2bd2_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
(<em>From Jack &amp; Grace&#8217;s actual day wedding on 1 January 2009)</em></p>
<p>Make sure they&#8217;re all dressed in black to appear scaaaaary! And also please try to include at least ONE charismatic brother. Once you have that in your checklist, half the battle is won. :p</p>
<p><em></em> </p>

(<em>From Terence &amp; Jann&#8217;s actual day wedding on 18 October 2009)</em></p>
<p>This time round, the poor photographer was roped in to help the sisters with the preparation. They placed lip gloss on Raymond&#8217;s lips and he had to put his sexy lipstick mark on the piece of paper together with the bride and other sister&#8217;s lipstick marks. But guess which one did the groom picked? Raymond&#8217;s!!! Hahahahaha!</p>

<em>(From John &amp; Ei-leen&#8217;s actual day wedding on 7 September 2008)</em></p>
<p>The brother actually tried to bully the poor boy and make him eat the banana on his behalf. Tsk tsk tsk. Luckily boy boy was smart enough not to eat! Attempt at converting &#8211; FAIL! :p</p>

(<em>From Kok Meng &amp; Cassies actual day wedding on 3 October 2009)</em></p>
<p>Poor Kok Meng had to do the push up all by himself!! Noticed that all the brothers did nothing but stood and watch at a side?? Luckily the groom was super duper fit enough to finish everything by himself!! Cassie has gotten herself a fit fit groom! Booboo to the nuanua brothers, and see what the groom has to say in the above image! :p </p>

(<em>From Ho Wei &amp; Eileen&#8217;s actual day wedding on 6 June 2009)</em></p>
<p><em></em>Usually the sisters will help the bride prepare a pretty contract like this one, where the groom puts his signature and agree to all the terms and conditions stated on the contract. Conditions such as giving all the monthly salary and bonuses to the wife, promise not to be angry with each other at the end of the day if they ever quarrel, do housework blablala&#8230; which I think is pretty bogus! Cos after the couple put both their signature on the piece of paper call the marriage certificate, the terms and conditions stated on this contract automatically becomes invalid. So in order to prevernt such things from happening, engage a lawyer and have a reeeeal one made! :p</p>

<p>Have you seen THIS?? Such a scary piece of&#8230;. CHOCOLATE!! It&#8217;s actually the leftover chocolate from the bride&#8217;s hen party the night before. This &#8220;creature&#8221; was not supposed to be shown and used and displayed to the world, until Yutong&#8217;s mummy suddenly thought of it and suggested that they make full use of this for the gate crashing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy New Year!! For some people, the new year brings new hope. But for others, the new year is just a continuation of of the previous year. When I was screaming in delight while watching the fireworks bursting high up in the skies, I felt hopeful. Somehow the fireworks seemed to bring along with it fresh bursts of hope. Felt so encouraging and motivated for a moment. Sadly after the &#8220;show&#8221; has ended, there&#8217;s nothing left but clouds of smoke, and it smacked me back to reality. The new year is just a continuation of the previous year. Nothing&#8217;s new. What about you?  <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, some picture to share! Took them briefly when we went hunting on a gloomy cloudy drizzling day. But it was really fun though! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>We have some Hermit Crabs over at our studio, and susu enjoys disturbing them. Guess she&#8217;s trying to be like the hermit when she puts on this very dusty and dirty cone!</p>

<p>Fuwah! Kungfu kick! Will slowly improvise k. Straighten the left leg and kicking the right leg way above my head!</p>

<p>Raymond always say when people are in love, they feel happy and so they eat more than usual. Believe it or not, Raymond and I have both gained at least 15KG since we met each other. Like all couples, we have our fair share of squabbles, went through the rough patches and sweet adventures together. But at the end of the day we both know how we love and feel for each other, and I guess that&#8217;s what glues us together all these years. The 5 seconds of action to re-think of the very reason what made us love each other really helps to chase away the squabbling monsters. So we should never take today&#8217;s squabble to the next day, and I think that&#8217;s very important for all couples too! :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2796/4249354205_78b3d9735a.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Evidence of that extra 15kg! Yi Yor and Xiao Yi Yor said these are skin&#8230; I beg to differ! FATS!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Raymond&#8217;s turn! MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!</p>
<p>We actually don&#8217;t have a lot of time to eat, so how did the weight gain happened right? Guess cos of the very irregular meal intakes and unhealthy lifestyle? Sometimes we skip breakfast, lunch and dinner altogether cos of work, and then we make it all up by having very late night supper! We practically swallow and gobble our food like giant monsters, sometimes we were too hungry to chew properly. So&#8230; I guess that explains the major part for the weight gain. =_=&#8221;</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>

<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4033/4250127196_5c723571b5.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>We attempted one kissing picture the other night when I was too tired to continue with the album layout. So I took a few minutes&#8217; time to disturb him, wondering how will our kissing pictures turned out to be like when it&#8217;s our turn to ring the wedding bell. This is how it&#8217;ll look like!! Snapped it using his phone!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2680/4249355425_f78f5d3579.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Or even this! Nice right!? I also attempted to do my hair nicely, but got frustrated cos I thought it&#8217;s a waste of time, so I simply braided it from the front. Hehehe.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Okie, now, some real wedding pictures to share!! I picked a few from different weddings which I really like. Hehe. Enjoy! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2797/4249391925_31cefb0604_o.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I like how the balloons hide away half of their faces, adding the element of a supposedly mysterious suspense. But unexpectedly the couple actually stuck out their tongues, which I thought was really awesomely cute! See how the colors and elements adds up to create that feeling of fun and cheekiness? I think it&#8217;s pretty cute and it just brings out the couple&#8217;s personality which I find is really meaningful! Cos personally I feel that &#8220;pre-wedding&#8221; photoshoots are most of the time about posing and creating aesthetically pleasing images, but it lacks the meaning of the couple&#8217;s love and relationship. I guess different people have their own ideals and perspective. Some might prefer meaningful images, and for some, aesthetically pleasing images! Lucky for couples, there&#8217;s a mixture of professional wedding photographers around to cater to your different needs. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2576/4055034378_07c7d52718_o.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Can&#8217;t really explain for this one, but the backview of the couple works for me for this. Somehow I feel this image has a pretty strong feel of the couple as two distinct individuals, and I can even feel their personality from this image. Some people might have noticed a reflection of another person in the image. This was actually taken on an Actual Day Wedding, and I thought it looked pretty good! Not exactly the most aesthetically pleasing image, but good enough for me. <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2635/4142864466_e3d6ef1f0d_o.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Again, the same couple on their actual day. I thought it looked pretty refreshing and I find the idea of this image pretty romantic too. One couple, two individuals, Two windows, One vision.  That&#8217;s the way it should be! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2604/4055063262_bff062d400_o.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Aother of my favourite! I like the overall feel of this image. There&#8217;s another one with a different cropping where the vines are actually centralised which Raymond liked, but I very much prefer this one!! Just felt that everything falls into place nicely for this one, and I like the mood of them being totally absorbed into their own little world without any cares or restriction. Very fresh colours, with a soft gentle mood. I like! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tons of other backlogs, and we&#8217;re all trying very hard to clear them as soon as we can without sacrificing on the quality. Susu has been really diligent working on the images together with us as well, so do bear with us a little longer k? Cheers!! <img src='http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
